Loved ones of Eryka Caldwell are now left mourning, after police identified her as the woman fatally stabbed in her Bushwick apartment on Sunday morning.
Police say the 41-year-old was stabbed multiple times throughout her body. Her alleged attacker slit her throat with a knife, according to officials.
Jonathan Fernandez, 38, was taken into custody on the scene. He is now charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
Sources say Fernandez and Caldwell were a couple, and this was not the first time police were called for a domestic dispute between them.
However, questions about what led to the violence on that day are still unanswered.
Fernandez is expected to be arraigned in court on Monday night.
